Thief (3x DVD5) *USMs resampling*

[peterf1999]

Thief
(3x DVD5)

1) Install the game

2) Extract 'THIEF_3xDVD5.7z.001 ... THIEF_3xDVD5.7z.006' contents (not in game folder)

3) Launch Compress.bat & wait...

4) Burn or make isos with label names of your choice

Note:
Four USM videos are resampled to bitrate ~60-65% of original ones.
You must have patch v1.2 or later installed.
The default conversion is for english language, with few changes
can be adapted to the language of your choice:

e.g:
Open arc.cl with text editor and then edit the row as follow for italian language:

from
-ep-- -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d180m:fb273:mc10000:lc8# ThiefGame\CookedPCNG\English(US)\*#Data6.bin#Disk3


to
-ep-- -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d180m:fb273:mc10000:lc8# ThiefGame\CookedPCNG\Italian\*#Data6.bin#Disk3

nice! What have you used VGMTool??
.001 no work
mancavano i file ecco il perchè :)

.Desktop & Start menu's 64 bit game shortcuts are no longer created on x86 OS
excuse the ignorance .. but does not create the same coder these shortcuts, or do you mean something else? please explain sir.

Extract file attachment content to THIEF_3xDVD5\THIEF\Disk1 folder and then launch Patch.bat.

The integrity of archives is ok, use 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org)to extract the files.

[Smurf Stomper]

Did you make an autorun for this as well? Usually you put up a screenshot or two of your work :)

[prudislav]

got some overload on DVD3 :-( but using isz format instead of iso makes it fit to DVD5

I used Verbatim dvd-r and it fits on DVD5.

Anyway, you can increment the amount of compression memory to gain more free room:

-ep-- -r -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d180m:fb273:mc10000:lc8# @Data5.lst#Data5.bin#Disk3
-ep-- -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d180m:fb273:mc10000:lc8# ThiefGame\CookedPCNG\English(US)\*#Data6.bin#Disk3
-ep-- -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d180m:fb273:mc10000:lc8# ThiefGame\Movies\PC\*#Data7.bin#Disk3


-ep-- -r -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d210m:fb273:mc10000:lc8# @Data5.lst#Data5.bin#Disk3
-ep-- -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d210m:fb273:mc10000:lc8# ThiefGame\CookedPCNG\English(US)\*#Data6.bin#Disk3

A 32 bit version of windows can't execute a 64 bit exe, so it's useless to create a 64 bit shortcuts on 32 bit installation.

[Dante1995]

thanks you time for me
lo sapevo questo :) segue la logica, pensavo altro grazie della risposta

[prudislav]

will try to use more compression

[robbos21]

Doing this now to test on win 7 x64, will take around an hour according to time on top bar for 1st data.bin file, so will see how long full convo when done all others ;):)

Edit: Full convo took all of 3.50 hours on my system......

ASUS SERIES
8gb memroy
3.6ghz amd quad core cpu
6tb hdd
1gb nvidia GRAPHICS
running windows 7 x64 ultimate

DVD 1 - 4.31gb
DVD 2 - 4.21gb
DVD 3 - 4.37gb

[Smurf Stomper]

can anyone upload just the autorun.exe file? Thanks!

[Darkangel5]

sorry to use google translation to translate.

hello
how you did it to scroll the text of your autorun?
thank you
there is a site or documentation to learn how to scroll through the text.

Hi peterf , thanks for the conversion.
I have a problem, my DVD1 is 4.43 gb.

DVD1 4.43 gb
DVD2 4.36 gb
DVD 4.37 gb

The game is updated at 1.2 version, I chose the english language.

I think the problem is common redist folder. In the installation game folder there are a _commonredist folder that is 116 mb. This folder is also present in Disk 1 after conversion; Disk 1 size without it is 4.31 gb.
I need maybe to delete this folder from installation game folder and re-run the conversion? Or delete it from Disk1?
Another question, the subtitles in other language were keep after conversion?

Delete Directx folder from Disk1 or replace its content with attachment file

Yep

[The-revenge]

Thanks. Conversion work fine, soon I test the installation and report back ;)
Always the best peterf :D

EDIT: It work perfectly :D

[prudislav]

will try with v1.4 update if it still fits
EDIT: fits fine if you change 1 x 20MB file from DVD3 to DVD1

[zenonxx]

Heads up for everyone.These scripts are well, outdated, i was pulling my hair out why it doesnt work, i was getting the BGI0_.BMP file missing all the time, no solution on the net.
After a while, i did my own simple inno freearc installer based on ultraarc automated tool.
HOWEVER, i found out that my old LA noir was having the same error, and i only had it in that form, after some detective work i come up with a theory and then solution.Installers based in this code, have a two GFX ui modes, 4:3 aspect and 16:9 , all fine and dandy.but i have a 21:9 monitor now, so in 2560x1080 mode they were erroring out due to no files for this resolution, solution is simple, put your monitor in 16:9 resolution mode for install.But man, it took me some time.Anyhow, i hope this code is not used anymore.

Also, 1.7 master thied edition still fits 3dvds, have to delete extras from the install folder tho.

A great job peter thank you
i have a little problem bro. i made the conversion and it took a loOOot of time :p
at the end i found that the shortcuts didn't refer exactly to the game.
is there a way to correct this probleme without repiting the conversion from the begining using ur patch ?
THANKS AGAIN

[alias-as]

Peter please can you give me a patch to correct the shortcut refer source

[pakrat2k2]

Peter please can you give me a patch to correct the shortcut refer source

did you read thru all posts?

there is a fix in post #3 for x86 OS shortcuts issue

[alias-as]

The same probleme i executed the patch after conversion and the shortcuts always refer to a wrong directory (see after Binaries there is a number 2 which is not in the source folder look:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Eidos Montreal\Thief\Binaries2\Win32\Shipping-ThiefGame.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Eidos Montreal\Thief\Binaries2\Win64\Shipping-ThiefGame.exe"
it should be like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Eidos Montreal\Thief\Binaries\Win64\Shipping-ThiefGame.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Eidos Montreal\Thief\Binaries\Win32\Shipping-ThiefGame.exe"

[pakrat2k2]

IF I remember correctly the earliest version was in location as you specified, C:\Program Files (x86)\Eidos Montreal\Thief\Binaries\Win64/32
but after updating game to latest version the EXE's ARE in C:\Program Files (x86)\Eidos Montreal\Thief\Binaries2\Win64/32 .... the location DID change to new location.
so Update your game to latest version or

try this then..

Just create a Setup.ini file with your [Executables/Shortcuts] values and Save the ini file in the same folder as the Setup.exe.
This additional ini will 'override' the settings in Setup.exe

[Executable1]
Name=Thief X64
Exe=Shipping-ThiefGame.exe
ExePath=Binaries\Win64
Icon=Setup.ico

[Executable2]
Name=Thief X86
Exe=Shipping-ThiefGame.exe
ExePath=Binaries\Win32
Icon=Setup.ico

See if this then allows the shortcuts on desktop to be in correct folder location.
IF it doesn't work then use different conversion or wait till peter comes back & fixes it.
